You're wasting your time. I've said this before and oddly enough it seems no one wants to listen. It's too easy to blame Democrats for everything. When you try to explain the party shift to them, their eyes glaze over, and they say, "But, but DEMONCRATS!"

You can almost set your watch by it.

Re: Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure the old, tired, PATHETIC "parties switch" claim as an attempt from Democrats to hide from the disgustingly racist and bigoted past.

Interesting how segregation and Jim Cros ended in the South the same time Democratic control ended in the South....very, VERY interesting.

The South has always been conservative. They were conservative when they voted for the Democrats, and they are conservative today and vote Republican. 20 years from now, who knows what damn party they'll be voting for, but they'll still be conservative. Conservatism is ALL that matters in Dixie. The parties did switch, like it or not.

I've asked numerous of these internet conservatives when in America's history was the south EVER a bastion of liberalism.

None of them can answer, and they usually just vanish like a fart in the wind when I ask them that.

Where is the evidence of your ridiculous libby assertion?

The Republican Party has been the only party standing for the Constitution since the founding of the party and its first President, Abraham Lincoln. That legacy continues today as they fight tooth and nail to stop the Democrats from burning our country's history.

Of course. Because it never WAS liberal. Just primarily Democrats, which from around 1870 to around 1945-ish, was the Conservative party. My favorite is how they swear that the KKK was formed by Democrats.
